Overview

Discover authentic and unknown Sicily with our exclusive tour among the Sicani mountains. We start from Lercara Friddi, the homeland of Frank Sinatra's father, where we will visit the Mother Church and its unique collection of a thousand nativity scenes. We continue towards Prizzi, a medieval village that will make you take a leap back in time, and Palazzo Adriano, a mix of cultures and the set of the Oscar-winning film "New Cinema Paradiso".

We will then take you to the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina, a place of great spirituality immersed in the woods, and to San Giovanni Gemini, where we will visit the mother church that houses the Black Christ “Jesus Nazarè”. Finally, we will delve into the heart of Cammarata, known as "a mountain of excellences", where we will savor a lunch with local delicacies.

This is not a simple tour, but a journey through history, culture, and gastronomy in the heart of Sicily. Hurry up, places are limited and this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.

Eremo di Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina

Our journey continues towards Cammarata, but first we will stop at Santo Stefano Quisquina. We will take a short walk in the woods, close to the Monte Cammarata nature reserve, to reach the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina, a place of great spirituality and beauty, immersed in nature. Especially in the summer months, the hermitage opens all its internal rooms, even the cells, offering a unique experience. In the winter months, however, the charm of the exteriors does not lack, equally offering an unforgettable experience.
